Evidence that eukaryotic triosephosphate isomerase is of alpha-proteobacterial origin.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced genes for triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) from the gamma-proteobacterium Francisella tularensis, the green non-sulfur bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus, and the alpha-proteobacterium Rhizobium etli and used these in phylogenetic analysis with TPI sequences from other members of the Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. These analyses show that eukaryotic TPI genes are most closely related to the homologue from the alpha-proteobacterium and most distantly related to archaebacterial homologues. This relationship suggests that the TPI genes present in modern eukaryotic genomes were derived from an alpha-proteobacterial genome (possibly that of the protomitochondrial endosymbiont) after the divergence of Archaea and Eukarya. Among these eukaryotic genes are some from deeply branching, amitochondrial eukaryotes (namely Giardia), which further suggests that this event took place quite early in eukaryotic evolution.
